Shawn Michaels was recently interviewed by ESPN in order to promote his new movie: “The Resurrection of Gavin Stone”. During the interview he spoke on a wide variety of topics, including saying that he has no interest at all in coming out of retirement for one final match.
If he were to do so, he wouldn’t choose AJ Styles, Seth Rollins or Dolph Ziggler like many wrestling fans desire. He says that he would love to face Samoa Joe:
“I look at Samoa Joe and I’ve told him a number of times that I see his stuff at NXT and think to myself, ‘Man, I could have a great deal of fun with you’. He’s a guy I have sort of enjoyed, and one of those sleeper guys that no one talks about”
He continued:
“We have contrasting styles. I get that everybody wants to see me and AJ or Seth or Dolph [Ziggler]. From my standpoint, I think really telling a great story out there [is most important]. I could do it with a guy like Samoa Joe. His stuff looks really good, and sometimes he just looks like he’s beating the tar out of somebody”
